  • Cultivate Culture: Partner closely with the VP of R&D and senior management to nurture a positive, inclusive, and high-velocity engineering culture built on technical excellence.
  • Strategic Collaboration: Work cross-functionally with Product, Design, and Platform to translate business objectives into impactful technical strategies and deliver tangible value to Fiverr's sellers.

Requirements:

  • Proven Director Experience: Extensive experience as an R&D Director (or equivalent senior leadership role), successfully leading multiple engineering teams.
  • AI-Native Expertise: Fully AI mindset with proven, hands-on experience in leveraging AI tools (e.g., LLMs, Cursor, Claude Code) to build or enhance production systems and internal tools.
  • Technical Acumen: Strong background in large-scale, distributed web application development with a deep understanding of modern cloud architectures, microservices, and system design.
  • Educational Background: BSc or MSc in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related technical field from a top-tier university.

  • Cultural Leadership: Demonstrated success in building, scaling, and maintaining a high-performing, positive, and diverse engineering culture.
  • Business Ownership: Strong product sense and a deep sense of ownership over the business outcomes driven by the technology teams.
